Up for sale is a CJ8 that I purchased in 1999. It came the from the Forestry Service in South Dakota. It started life as Sherwood Green and they shot it with the Forestry green before it went out the door. It had a 4 banger with a 4 speed. If your into CJ's you know that the 4cyl was a GM 151. Which was a piece of crap for a motor. So there was no reason to save it or the transmission which was SR5. Now to what I've done. The motor was replaced with a 350 sbc with TBI. The trans is a TH350 with a 205 transfer case. The axles are stock. I have a set Moser axles for the rear but never changed them because I just used it to run around town. The jeep has bedliner shot in the bed and inside the tub about 6" high. The entire drive train may have a 1000 miles on it. As I said this is a base unit. I have changed the column to a tilt. I have installed the clock, tach, grab bar and chrome grill out of a Laredo. The seats are out of a 4th gen Camaro. I had them recovered in black cloth. Their ten times better than that after market junk. It has power steering and power brakes now which it didn't have when I got it. It also didn't have a padded dash which was a little hard to find. Because the 81 Scrambler was the only year without wing vents so the dash in order to be right has no indentions for the vents. There are no patch panels on this. Did you hear me. There are no patch panels on this jeep. That is one of the first things that caught my eye when I bought it. If you look close at the pictures you can see the spot welds in the body. I did not flares on the back wheel wells because I didn't want to drill new holes in the body. The paint is about 4yrs old. The jeep has never been in the rain and has always been garaged. The tires have about 5/16 tread on them. They were put on to setup the suspension and they work just fine for what I do. Now to the things that don't work. The tach doesn't work because it is an original 6 cyl tach. The clock is also original and they were not that when new. The reason I didn't put after market units in is because the faces are different and the reverse paint is different. I put them in purely for looks. And the doors do not lock. They never have in all the time I've owned it. (1999) I don't think the Forestry worried about. I never worried about it because everybody knew it was mine and left it alone. That's small town Tennessee. Other than those items that's it. The reason for selling this is because I also have a cj6. It was going to go to Colorado. But I changed my mind and it's staying here. The Scrambler lost the coin toss. Plus I can beat the snot out of the cj6 and not worry about getting a scratch on it. Like I do the Scrambler. If there is anything I have forgotten, I'll try to add it later. Or feel free to ask questions. I built this from pretty much nothing, so there's nothing I don't know about it. As far as your wife driving it or your daughter fine. But if they are like my wife, who perks up at the slightest noise. No. Buy them a Honda. Think about it, if it wasn't for electric starters half the people on Harleys wouldn't be on them. This is a damn nice Jeep. Could other things be done to it? Sure. I never saw a jeep I COULDN'T DO SOMETHING TO But if your looking for a nice mall crawler. This is a great ride.....Thanks for your time. The last picture is of the cj6 I'm keeping. Just in case you were thinking I was giving you a line of B.S.

VW, Rivian, Nissan, BMW, Genesis, Audi and Volvo lose EV tax credits starting tomorrow

Mon, Apr 17 2023

The U.S. Treasury said Monday that Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Rivian, Hyundai and Volvo electric vehicles will lose access to a $7,500 tax credit under new battery sourcing rules. The Treasury said the new requirements effective Tuesday will also cut by half credits for the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive to $3,750 but other Tesla models will retain the full $7,500 credit. Vehicles losing credits Tuesday are the BMW 330e, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Genesis Electrified GV70, Nissan Leaf , Rivian R1S and R1T, Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the plug-in hybrid electric Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric Volvo S60. The Swedish carmaker is 82%-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The rules are aimed at weaning the United States off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and are part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of U.S. new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or PHEVs. Hyundai said in a statement it was committed to its long-range EV plans and that it "will utilize key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to electrification." Rivian declined to comment and the other automakers could not immediately be reached for comment. Treasury also disclosed General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. GM said earlier it expected at least some of its EVS would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit under the new rules, including the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and forthcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV and Blazer EV SUV. Treasury said all GM EVs will qualify. Earlier, Ford Motor and Chrysler-parent Stellantis said most of their electric and PHEV models would see tax credits halved to $3,750 on April 18. Treasury confirmed the automakers' calculations. The rules were announced last month and mandated by Congress in August as part of the $430 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA requires 50% of the value of battery components be produced or assembled in North America to qualify for $3,750, and 40% of the value of critical minerals sourced from the United States or a free trade partner for a $3,750 credit. The law required vehicles to be assembled in North America to qualify for any tax credits, which in August eliminated nearly 70% of eligible models and on Jan. 1 new price caps and limits on buyers income took effect.

Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval

Mon, Jun 8 2020

BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.
